Question to the Wales Office:

To ask the Secretary of State for Wales, what representations he has received on the re-naming of the second Severn Crossing.

As the hon Member knows, the decision to rename the Second Severn Crossing has drawn a variety of views. I have received several representations from people agreeing that it is a fitting tribute to His Royal Highness in a year that sees him mark 60 years as The Prince of Wales.

I have corresponded regularly with the Welsh Government, the Prime Minister’s Office, the Department for Transport and with the Royal Household over the course of the last year.

The new name is intended to represent all Princes of Wales, past, present and future.
